Murkhamantri's, Foolish Minister's Cabinet Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

In the Murkhamantri's cabinet,
The barber, the carpenter, the oil pressure, the wine brewer,
The potter, the taxidermist, the drummer,
The blacksmith, the goldsmith, the weaver,
The vegetable-seller, the ploughman,
The astrologer, the horoscope maker, the fortune-teller,
The palmist and the soothsayer,
All ministers.

Mukhamantri the greatest of the blockheads,
The dullard of the dullards,
Clumsy and uncouth and rugged,
Rough and tough,
Uneducated and illiterate
Coming on a bullock-cart to form the govt.,
I mean the cabinet of his ministry,
Himself a rough and tough cowboy not,
But a buffaloman moving with a lathi.
